iPhone Interfaces

AT&T Mobility CED, Ralph De La Vega, has recently announced the arrival of the tethering plans for the iPhone. We all knew that AT&T has been working with Apple to bring an official tethering plan to iPhone customers, but no previous details have been leaked.

AT&T has always done their best to bring customers what they want in a cellular service, iPhone owners have been asking for a tethering plan for over a year not but AT&T could not deliver because of the network. Ralph De La Vega said, “Regardless of how many billions of dollars AT&T pours into their 3G network, it hasn’t been stable enough to handle all you iPhone users,”

AT&T has recently acquired Wi-Fi provider Wayport, adding thousands of hotspots to their network.  AT&T seems to be bumping up the amount of hotspots that they now have to offer with the opening of free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users. The purchase price for Wayport was $275 million.

Now AT&T has around 20,000 wireless access points in the US and 80,000 around the world including roaming locations run by partner networks. Some of original AT&T Wi-Fi locations include Starbucks, Barnes  and Noble bookstores and many major airports.
